Tests were conducted under idle and load states. The computer was left to sit after 30 minutes after being turned on to check the idle temperature. The load temperature was found by running the latest version of Prime95 which supports multi-core CPUs by default. Temperatures were obtained through SpeedFan.

As you can see from the results, the cooling isn’t that great and the worst we’ve tested with this system, 36°C on Idle and 59°C under load. I was truly expecting to see some significant cooling from this considering the angular design and honeycomb fins, but to my surprise this was not the case.
